    Best bar in fountain square. They have great cocktails at good prices. Friendly staff & quick service. And, their kitchen is open very later. Overall a MUST SEE in fountain square.

    a plate of nachos

    WOW LOOK AT THESE NACHOS. I came with a friend And ordered a hummus plate & drinks. We were still hungry.. Innocently ordering nachos we did not know what we were in for. A full tray of beyond meat goodness with a side of my friend of 6 years asked me to be his girlfriend & i said yes absolutely & now i am in a relationship & have had amazing nachos & drinks. Thank u brass ring. I'm feeling so full of gratitude. :)

    Old fashioned and Manhattan

    Newly reopened from covid- the brass ring is a great local spot to grab a drink with a friend. The laid back atmosphere and kind staff always make it a pleasure to kick off the weekend right. I would recommend getting an old fashioned with their delicious muddled cherries. My husband and I go almost weekly we love it so much!

    Cucumber bebida for those starting a diet but not willing to give up booze.

    Pineapple curry. Turner Classic Movies. Friendly bartenders. A beautiful bar. Local brews on tap. A-okay place to walk in, sit alone and not feel weird. And if you have a tendency to record meeting dates incorrectly you will easily find yourself in this position. I've been trying for quite some time to prepare myself for a life filled with cats and spinsterhood by attempting to be more at ease with eating in public alone. And this was the perfect night to give it a whirl. I arrived 45 min early- calmly made the realization that I mischeduled and then seized the opportunity to face my fear. Not once did I feel like I was being pitifully-watched. Thank heavens, right? It was a toss up between the potstickers and pineapple curry- way to have a diverse and yummy bar menu! I let the waitress decide and she opted for the curry. I love a bartender/waitress/waiter who is willing to play along with my "surprise me" tactics. Sometimes the decision is just too difficult, why don't you make it for me? My favorite part of Brass was the laid back, no-rush feel. Hell, with Turner Classic Movies rolling we must be trapped in time anyways. I'll be back when the temperature is cooler to enjoy their cozy patio that faces on to Shelby Street.

    Dog-friendly patio, delicious food and a kitchen that's open late! Top it off with affordable prices and you've got yourself a damn good spot. I don't think I've ever walked away from the Brass Ring with a bad experience. And how could you?! The staff is friendly and cool, always. The cocktails are well-crafted and I've yet to order a menu item I didn't enjoy. They've plenty of vegan and veggie options, too. I love cheese more than anything but will still dive head first into the vegan nachos. The interior has an almost intimate vibe, donned with small tables and illuminated by tea lights. The windows open fully to the front patio during spring and summer, which is really nice. And sometimes they've got yard games going on in the adjoining lot. As others have said, it's a great spot to start or end your night. Especially if you get the munchies! Definitely recommend.

    The Dove

    Love this place. The music, the ambiance, the bartenders. I highly recommend asking for The Dove. It's no longer in the menu but they'll be more than happy to make it for you. It's delicious. Definitely check them out if you're in the Fountain Square area.

    WOW

    One word: AMAZEBALLS. This place has the whole sha-bang. Cheap mixed drinks, craft beer, domestic beer, great food (see the photo for reference.) We got the vegan nachos, and I couldn't be happier! An amalgamation of astonishing flavors shotgunned with an array of beautiful colors. It's a sight for the eyes and a feast for the stomach. My mixed drink was perfectly blended and the service was quick! The beautiful weather definitely added to the atmosphere of the entire place. The patio is an astonishing place to sit as you enjoy the view of the gorgeous, newly renovated fountain square. Don't let he laid back tone of the area scare you away, this place is the jam!

    Taco pizza was ridiculously good. Good enough to post a yelp review. Bartenders were cool too and fast. Pretty good vibe in there!

    We were walking by with some friends on our way to another bar when Paradox Lounge caught our…read moreattention. There were only a few people sitting at the bar at 8:30 on a Friday evening. Later, our bartender told us the place would get busy in about an hour. As soon as we sat down at the bar, we were greeted by our bartender, Soso. She was delightful! So friendly and helpful with drink recommendations. And she was spot on! She suggested a cocktail not on the menu, a Tequila Sunrise with Peach Schnapps. Something I'd never had before. It was divine! My husband had the Paradox Paloma - also tasty. We asked for Tequila Old Fashioneds for round 2. Delicious! Our fried plantain appetizers took no time to come out. They were crisp and caramelized on the outside and tender and sweet on the inside. Our entrees came out quickly too. We shared the Buffalo Dry Rubbed Chicken Wings. They were bursting with flavor! So glad we wandered across Paradox Lounge. Can't wait to go back!

    I attended the Night with Djsolo with some friends and had a ball. The DJ usually does R&B nights…read moreat a different venue but last night it was here at Paradox. It was very different, more space, more club like. I loved the lights and the art they had in the screens, the art in the restrooms and along the sections were very beautiful also. I had the Like I'm Golden drink recommended by Shay (one of the bartenders) and some honey bbq wings. The drink was very good, not strong at all (but does creep up on you later). The wings were great too! Not too sweet and not too much of a bbq taste either. I loved that their menus have lights in them to help you see better because it can be a little dark inside. I wasn't able to get many pictures but I definitely plan on coming back.

We hardly saw our server despite there being plenty of staff and not many tables filled. We had we had to go to the host to ask for a carafe of water. The DJ was poppin and we really enjoyed the music. And the food was fantastic. The avocado toast was $17 and it was heaping with greens and avocado. I would definitely recommend. The two eggs meal came with four slices of bacon and some diced potatoes. At $18, it was not worth the price, but was still good. We could have made that at home for less than half the price. I got the orange mocktail and it was fantastic. The problem was I ordered another one and it never came. I guess the server forgot to put it in. My partner got the Morning Ritual and it was super tasty. 10/10 on the cocktails. I think we would have had a way better experience had we not been forgotten in the corner and baking in the sun. We were quite sweaty and ready to leave by the end. We asked for the check and waited 15-20 minutes for it. Probably would not come again.
